Paragon earned the high honor of world first heroic Ragnaros kill, downing the Firelord after over 400 attempts on his fight. Heroic mode encounters add something new and difficult to the mix, but it is rare that we see an entirely new phase to an encounter. Paragon’s heroic Ragnaros kill video shows the final stage of the fight, in which Ragnaros submerges into his lava pool and emerges at full strength, where his new legs allow movement all over the encounter room.

The final stage of the fight involves Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem, Malfurion Stormrage, and Cenarius assisting the players in dealing with the entirely new mechanics this new heroic mode phase presents. If you’ve been trying Ragnaros or have killed him, you already have experienced the hilarious Living Meteor ability. In this new phase, meteors must be kited over patches of ice on the ground to freeze them and then players must DPS down meteors to control the amount up at any time. Players are also frantically running around extinguishing ground fires and trapping Ragnaros in roots on the ground. All in all, it looks incredibly fun and challenging, and it’s very nice to see Ragnaros putting his new legs to good use kicking the crap out of guilds across the world.

My favorite part of the video has to be the end, with the custom death animation for Ragnaros. Watch until the very end — it’s worth it. Congratulations again to DREAM Paragon for their heroic first kill and for the awesome video of the accomplshment.
